Elena’s POV

I stared at Phila, my eyes searching for any sign of deception. But her expression remained serious, her eyes filled with concern.

"I don't believe you," I said, my voice firm. "Jack would never do that."

Phila sighed, pulling out her phone. "I have all the evidence right here. Financial records, witness statements...it's all here."

I hesitated, my mind racing with doubts. But I had to know the truth. I took Phila's phone, scrolling through the evidence. My heart sank with each new revelation.

I felt like I was in a daze, my mind numb. I dialed Jack's number, my hands shaking.

"Hey, Elena! I'm out of town for a while. What's up?" Jack's voice was cheerful, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me.

I couldn't speak. I just stood there, frozen in shock.

"Jack...where are you?" I finally managed to stammer.

"I'm out of town, like I said. Why?"

"I was starting to think you wouldn't show up.""I'm here," I said, my eyes fixed on Jack. "And I'm not leaving until I get answers."Jack's head jerked up, his eyes straining to see through the blindfold. "Elena?" he said, his voice shaking. "Is that you?"I didn't respond. Instead, I walked closer to him, my eyes fixed on his battered face."You're a monster," I said, my voice cold. "You deserve everything that's happened to you."Jack's face contorted in pain, but I didn't care. I was beyond feeling sorry for him."Please, Elena," he begged. "Just listen to me. I can explain eve

At first, it was sweet and thoughtful, but soon it became suffocating."I can do it myself, Daniel," I would say, trying to assert my independence.But he would just smile and say, "Let me take care of you, baby. You're carrying our child."He would make me sit down and rest, even when I wasn't tired. He would bring me water and healthy snacks, even when I wasn't hungry. He would even try to dress me like I was a child.I felt like I was losing myself in all of this. I was still the same person, capable and strong.

"What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena.

Alex has escaped from custody."My heart skipped a beat as I felt a surge of fear. "What? How did that happen?""We're not entirely sure yet," Detective James replied. "But we're working on it.
